Historical background
PLAUTIA
(47 BC)
Lucius Plautius Plancus is the brother of Lucius Minutius Plancus, but Lucius Plautius was adopted into the gens Plautia. Lucius Minutius Plancus was the prefect of the City in 45 BC before becoming proconsul of Gaul Comata (Hairy Gaul) in 43 BC It was he who founded Copia, a Roman colony better known as the name of Lyons. Plautius Plancus was first called Gaius Munatius Plancus before being adopted by Lucius Plautius. Unfortunately for him, like Cicero, Lucius Plautius Plancus was proscribed in 43 BC and his property confiscated. It is executed.
